My missus want's the gold one... wonder how many collectors will go for the 100? Nuts.
 

Pentax needs to have 100 different colours plastic resin for the molding process to produce these bodies. However, not sure how they overcome the economy of scale.
The K-X looks like a fashion statement with it's multi colours options. Which users' groups they are targeting?:think:
 

very very bold move by Pentax...but is indeed very interesting...
I nearly bought a Pentax K-M but it wasnt release on time for my holiday then so i opt for a Canon then....this pentax is tempting me :bsmilie:
 

Here are my thoughts on the Pentax K-x and Pentax K-xC (request to Pentax by Hin)

I hope Pentax can make the color selection an international and global choice without boundaries. It is a difficult logistics for Pentax but it can attract enthusiasts with no physical and geological boundaries. If they go this far to tempt us with colors, please tempt us on an equal basis.

PS: some punt intended in my blog post :o enjoy it while we can before RH take a stab on reporting RED HOT issues and problems with color. Congratulation to all of us Pentaxians who stay put in Pentax.


Thanks,
Hin

Hey Hin,

I like the white w/ red grip one too. If only someone could help me get one from JP. Probably just use vPostJapan to do the order.
 

Wah. Haven't been here for the past week and this comes around. :sweat:

Sure looks like a fun entry-level camera with all those "Holga-esque" colours. Dunno if I should get one as a back-up camera. But at the current price, I'd rather get another K10D and pimp it myself. ;p

Then again, this step proves that the new tagline isn't just for show. :)
 

I think the white and the red one look really great. :thumbsup:
 

when will it reach our shores? anyone know?

Amazon Japan selling the White Body & Black grips @ Jpy 89,799 (S$1,392.00)
 

Can Emjay special order our preference, something like a pre-order with deposit?
Can perhaps save on shipping and derive better bulk pricing. ;)
 

Ohhh!! I'm dying to get my red K-x.... ;p

If they can't order, we can always go through vPostJP :D
 

EMJAY Where are you? can enlighten me on the arrival date? or olive K-x
lol

Hmm.. Amazon Japan listing the K-x standard kit for JPY 69800 which is SG$1078, significantly more expensive than the US price of USD 649 which is (now) SG$916

I think you can get 10% rebate from Amazon Japan though which makes it about SG$970

Not sure which end of the price scale it will be when Emjay brings it in...
